Hi Maria, why don't you start a thread to intrduce yourself and tell everyone who is the md and where and why and how you got to this decision. The people on this board are wildly supportive and very real. I hope you find the support you need from here.

My name is Maria. My surgeon is Dr. Trivedi in Hackensack. I am going for the psych exam on tueday and surgeon appointment on 4/18 and the support group meeting on 4/21/05. I am hoping my insurance will approve the surgery soon thereafter.

I have come to this decison after going to seminar a year ago. I have tried so many diets and have lost but gained it back. At this point in my life my metabolism is slow and my self control is gone. I am hoping that this lap band surgery will make me feel full thus help me lose the weight I need to lose.

Maria,

Try doing your introduction in the "Introductions" forum. Many more people will see it there and respond to you rather than in a thread that has nothing to do with welcoming new people. I spent a couple of days just surfing around and getting the hang of all the cool controls and ways to post first.

Congrats on your decision though and welcome to LBT!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
